The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Hi all!

Hello everyone,

A year ago I started a handdraw map of Westeros. I left it half made for months. Lately I restarted my drawing. I searched for new maps that may hace been created and finally I found this place. My map was based mostly in the most beautifull and detailed map so far, the one created by Tear as I recently discovered. It's nearly finished and all the decisions are made (for good or bad ... so many regret now).
I would have loved to know of this formu before and take some council. Now I don't know if it's worth to open a mapmaking discussion cause as I said is neary finished.
Well, I leave some pics for you.

Welcome to the Guild freakman! These are beautiful pics! Would love to see more of your work. If you are nearly finished with this project then perhaps it would be best to wait until you complete the project and then upload all of your pics to a thread in the Finished Maps section. You'll get more traffic in that forum than you do in this one, and I'm sure you'll get a lot of good feedback.
